Commenti	The Falkland Islands Government issued this note under authority derived directly from the Colonial Treasury — not through a chartered bank — which was unusual for British colonial dependencies of the period and reflects the extreme isolation and minimal commercial banking infrastructure of the islands at the time. Thomas De La Rue printed the series in London, as they did for a considerable number of British colonial territories, though the tiny circulation figures for the Falklands made these notes uncommon from the outset. P#1A is the first catalogued note for the territory. The long date span — over a decade — almost certainly masks very low print runs rather than continuous reissue.
